I think that 16 lbs will be too much for you. You might see if you can find a 14 lb used ball to try out. 14 lbs is the lightest ball that you can buy that still has a dynamic core. This will make a huge difference in your ability to knock down pins. You might also see if you can find a local coach that can teach you the basics. All bowling is based on 4 steps back from the line. Many bowlers use 5 steps, but the first step is just for feel... the ball doesn't move. Three steps does not give you the ability to let the ball swing and reach the line at the same time as your body. This "timing" is imperative in bowling. Good luck.
